WATCHING WHAT WE'RE By Abby Montanez [SPOILER ALERT] JESSICA JONES After a two and a half year sabbat- ical, "Jessica Jones" has returned and she's drowning in anger (and whiskey). After defeating her rival Kilgrave, Jones is now on the hunt to discover her past and confront who she really is, even if she can't totally remember. ATLANTA Back with a new name, "Atlanta Robbin' Season" has reinvented it- self yet again. Donald Glover's FX series follows friend trio Paper Boi, Earn, and Darius who are trying to find fame in the not-so-glamorous streets of Atlanta. "Robbin' Season" (the time right before Christmas in which robbery rates increase) is more formulaic than the first, but plays into the literal and metaphor- ical meaning of its name where the more you get, the more they take. LOVE In its third and final season, "Love" is coming to an end and we're still not sure if Gus (Paul Rust) and Mick- ey (Gillian Jacobs) will live happily ever after. The two 30-somethings have been trying to make it work amongst a series of cringe-worthy fuck-ups and countless reconcil- iations, but can they commit and become real adults in a real-world relationship? We'll see. SNEAKY PETE Marius Josipovic (Giovanni Ribisi) is on a very different journey in season two, but he still has all his old tricks. As a con man who stole his cell mate's identity in season one, the former Pete Murphy impersonator has now got bigger problems as thugs have kidnapped him thinking that he is, in fact, the real Pete Murphy. Now, he's got to figure out how to ditch them but still take off with the money they say Pete's estranged mother stole from them. $11 million to be exact. What poses an even bigger issue is that the lives of the Murphy family are on the line, people who we are supposed to believe Mar- ius grew attached to in season one. But did he develop any real feelings for them at all? It looked that way to us, but then again you can't trust everything you see. SANTA CLARITA DIET No one ever told us why Sheila (Drew Barrymore) became a flesh-eating zom- bie-realtor, but we accepted season one for what it was—an offbeat, undead comedy that actually brought a family closer together. In season two, "San- ta Clarita Diet" delves into solving the mystery and explores the repercussions that ensue when the family finds out that Sheila can spread the virus. RISE NBC's new musical drama "Rise" tracks the transformation of a typical high school theater department, and for those who loved "Glee" and "Friday Night Lights" — this is basically the best of both worlds. An English teacher-turned- theater director takes center stage (no pun intended) and shakes up the facul- ty, students and the small, working-class town in which the show is based.
